About The Show

LITTERAURBAN is a multidisciplinary adventure in diverse geographical locations, integrated by modern dance performance and video art. This project brings together an handful of talent from four different countries: Australia, Japan, USA and Venezuela.

This project intends to find the artist among the urban chaos, by performing and exploring alternatives spaces other than the conventional performing venues. It is about artists who talk about life, today and now, transmitting their voices to and through a globalized world. Integration is the key point of this project. Interconnecting people, life, art and urban culture. It intends to find The Common people inside the creative process and insure inclusion of the passive outsider.
